Anthony // Chicago Lifestyle Photographer // Senior Portraits

05.12.10

This senior portrait session may just be one of my all-time faves. Not only is Anthony my younger cousin, but he just so happens to be one of my favorite people in the world! For the first few years of his life he was at my house almost everyday. Needless to say, we became pretty attached to each other. In fact, sometimes he feels more like a younger brother than a cousin. I remember at one point when he was just a little guy feeling really sad at the thought that he would one day be a teenager who would probably think he was “too cool” for his older cousin. As it turns out, Anthony was legitimately too cool to ever be “too cool” and we have, thankfully, remained good buddies who love any chance we get to hang out together. He is one of the sweetest, funniest, smartest, coolest people I know; not to mention über talented!! The talent things is, quite frankly, a bit ridiculous! Whether it’s skateboarding, playing guitar, drawing, cooking, or restoring old cars, he is pretty much a rockstar at everything he does! It was so much fun for me to get the chance to capture just a few of the aspects of his personality. Honestly, I don’t think I could be more proud of this guy or more excited to see where life will lead him!

Otto Rascon-Jaclyn, these are so much fun. I love this shoot – the different locations and the props are all screaming “personality” and creativity. Keep shootin’! Way to Rock Out this shoot.ReplyCancel
